Strong's Lexicon tamrur: Bitterness, bitter weeping Original Word: תַּמְרוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַר (tamar), which means "to be bitter" or "to be embittered." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of bitterness or bitter weeping is πικρία (pikria), Strong's Greek #4088, which also conveys the idea of bitterness or harshness. Usage: The term "tamrur" is used to describe a state of deep sorrow or bitter weeping. It conveys a profound sense of grief and emotional pain, often associated with mourning or lamentation. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it reflects the intense emotional response to loss, suffering, or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of grief and mourning were often public and communal. Bitter weeping, or "tamrur," would have been a familiar expression of lament, especially in times of national crisis or personal tragedy. Mourning practices included wearing sackcloth, sitting in ashes, and loud lamentation, reflecting the depth of one's sorrow and the communal sharing of grief.
